Peloni: Sharia is the undoing of Constitutional law, as it makes all other laws subordinate to the laws enforcing Islamic doctrine. Does Texas have no interest in this matter even in a political year? This is highly concerning.

While claiming to lead Muslims for Trump, Mahdi Rostamizadeh (aka Matt Rostami) is targeting anti-Sharia Republican candidates in Texas and pushing to weaken the Texas GOP’s opposition to Sharia at the 2026 convention.
The Texas Republican Party faces an internal security crisis as left-wing operatives successfully infiltrate grassroots organizations to alter the party’s ideological platform. At the center of this strategy in North Texas is a licensed eye surgeon practicing under the pseudonym “Matt Rostami”. Rostami ran for the Texas State Board of Education but thankfully lost in 2024.
Born Mahdi Rostamizadeh, he presents himself as a conservative Muslim Trump supporter who co-founded “Muslims for Trump” and claims that he “flipped Dearborn and the state of Michigan for Trump”. This wolf in sheep’s clothing has infiltrated the Republican Party in Texas, where he is targeting Republican candidates who understand the threat of Islamic supremacy and Sharia.
The Campaign of Local Destruction in Collin County
The Frisco mayoral race became Rostami’s most visible theater of operations.
When Rod Vilhauer, a conservative businessman and former planning commissioner who had vocally opposed new mosque construction in Frisco and warned against the encroachment of Sharia-compatible governance, emerged as a strong contender, Rostami launched a sustained campaign of online attacks.
Local watchdog outlet Frisco Chronicles documented what residents described as “increasingly aggressive online commentary” directed at Vilhauer.
Multiple Frisco residents contacted the publication, with one stating that “the public rhetoric has become increasingly inflammatory” and another questioning whether the fixation had crossed into “stalking territory.”
The reporting detailed a clear pattern:
- Multi-post tirades
- Inflammatory accusations
- Political hit pieces placed in local magazines
- Defamatory road signs aimed squarely at Vilhauer
This was not random.
Of the four candidates in the race, Vilhauer was the only one who consistently and publicly opposed mosque construction and raised concerns about Sharia influence in Collin County governance. That made him the clearest target for someone whose social media activity has focused heavily on neutralizing criticism of Islamic expansion in the area.
Vilhauer drew widespread attention for remarks made on Episode 22 of Nick’s Right Podcast (hosted by Nick Keller and Nick Rice, with the controversial Kaylee Campbell as a guest).
During the discussion on immigration and demographics, Vilhauer described certain groups entering the country as coming “like rats,” immediately acknowledged “that’s not the right word,” after which Campbell said, “I would have said cockroaches,” and Vilhauer laughed and agreed.
As the Dallas Morning News reported, Vilhauer later walked back portions of those comments. In a video posted just before the runoff, he stated:
“I don’t care your race, your creed, your religion. If you are here in Frisco, in Texas, in America, and you love our Constitution … and you are here for the American dream … I support you 100%. I’m not here to attack you, but I’m here to unite this city.”
Despite the clarification, Vilhauer lost the June 13, 2026, runoff to Mark Hill, who received approximately 58% of the vote.
Jake Lang: Useful Idiot or Deliberate Saboteur?
Lang, who sought the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Florida but failed to qualify for the August 2026 primary ballot, inserted himself into Frisco’s civic battles with no connection to the city as a resident, voter, or stakeholder. He appeared at the May 19 Frisco City Council meeting to speak against rezoning applications for two Hindu temples and one mosque, telling the audience regarding mosques, “burn ’em to the f***ing ground.” He was removed from the meeting, subsequently arrested twice in June – once for criminal trespass outside Frisco City Hall and again on terroristic threat charges carrying a $1 million bond – all while livestreaming his exploits for a national audience.
By his antics, Lang handed Rostami and his allies exactly the ammunition they needed. Every clip makes it easier to dismiss legitimate concerns about Sharia.
Downplaying the Threat of Sharia
Operating with a high degree of social media provocation, this individual uses his platform to downplay the civilizational threat of Sharia, falsely assuring conservative activists that Islamic jurisprudence poses no danger to American constitutional governance. This narrative is a calculated deception designed to disarm the Republican base and neutralize necessary defenses against Sharia, an anti-constitutional legal system.
